Officers were called to the Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers restaurant near 51st Avenue and Bell Road at about 10 p.m. on Sunday.

A man who damaged a west Phoenix restaurant and fought with police officers died Sunday night after police used a stun gun in an attempt to subdue him, according to a Phoenix police spokesman.

Two of the officers involved in the fight were injured, including one who required stitches for a cut on his ear, but both were treated and released overnight, said Officer James Holmes, a police spokesman.

Officers were called to the Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers restaurant near 51st Avenue and Bell Road at about 10 p.m. on Sunday when employees reported that a man was acting strangely before he went into the bathroom and flooded the area, Holmes said.

When the 38-year-old man emerged from the bathroom he destroyed the counter area of the restaurant and attempted to enter the kitchen before an employee used a knife to scare the man away, Holmes said.

The first officer who responded to the scene noticed that the man seemed to be experiencing delerium and that he refused to comply with the officer's commands, Holmes said. The first officer used a stun gun on the man but it did not affect him, Holmes said.

A supervisor arrived and tried to help the first officer take the man into custody which sparked a fight that lasted for about 5 minutes, Holmes said. Two additional officers showed up at the scene and all four were able to get the man into handcuffs, Holmes said. At that point, the man started to experience some medical distress, Holmes said.

Paramedics transported the man to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, Holmes said.

Police will not identify the man until his relatives are notified of his death, Holmes said.
